Guo Jia's words made everyone's hearts suddenly brighten, as if a crack was torn open by the dark clouds in the sky, and the bright sunlight suddenly projected down, making people happy, and the depression and frustration in their hearts were gradually replaced by hope.

"Where's the middle strategy?" Tao Qian asked.

"The middle strategy also needs to give up the periphery, because we can't take care of such a large area in the periphery, so it is necessary to shrink the perimeter regardless of the strategy, and if possible, try to clear the periphery. On the one hand, a large number of tasks were issued to strangle the aliens in the Cao army's camp, on the other hand, the shrinking population was held in the key cities, and our Miyun army was delayed around the key points to raid the Cao army, so that they did not dare to attack the city with all their might, and the purpose of this middle strategy was a 'drag' word. When the front line is in full swing, the area behind needs to grab the grain, and then shrink the people and food back into the city, implement the strong wall clearing, and then give up the first line of points, and put the enemy into the second line that has been strong and clear, at this time, the advantage of the war will gradually return to our hands, and Cao Cao's defeat is only a matter of time. This is the middle strategy, killing a thousand enemies and self-inflicting eight hundred and one

Miao Ce 1 Tao Qian couldn't help but praise loudly, and couldn't help but look forward to the best strategy more, the middle strategy has been able to win steadily, but the loss is slightly larger, but there is a problem in this.

"Fengxiao, if you concentrate the population in the city, I'm afraid the city can't accommodate so many people.1

"Boss, then please send the homeless and unemployed to Youzhou, how about the remuneration of our army?"

Tao Qian and his subordinates were stunned. It turns out that Fang Zhiwen really likes the population, but these populations can indeed be traded to Fang Zhiwen as a reward, although Tao Qian implemented tuntian in the East China Sea and other places, and resettled a lot of immigrants, but the population immigrated from the Central Plains is still too much, and the land in Tao Qian's hands is too little, not to mention that Langya and Dongguan County have been lost, but most of the population has fled to the south, and Tao Qian has even less land in his hands.

The deal proposed by Fang Zhiwen now is a two-benefit plan. Tao Qian was naturally very willing in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to express his position, he just nodded noncommittally, Guo Jia smiled, this matter cannot be denied at all, if Tao Qian is unwilling to get these homeless people away, it is not Fang Zhiwen who will suffer the loss in the end, but the local magnates and people in Xuzhou.

Chen Deng sighed slightly and had to take it. Guo Fengxiao is indeed much smarter than himself, and. He could also see that Guo Fengxiao opened his mouth to ask for someone, and he couldn't refuse it at all.

"And what about the best policy?" Chen Deng first vaguely passed this matter, anyway, we have to talk about it later, so let's listen to how wonderful Guo Jia's best strategy is!

Guo Jia curled the corners of his mouth and continued: "The best strategy is the promotion of the middle strategy, and before Cao Cao's action, we need to seize it first. And the population of the first-line key cities will be withdrawn as much as possible, and in these cities to speed up the construction of defense facilities, accumulate war materials, once Cao Cao has made a move, we will burn all the wheat fields that have not been harvested, and then shrink the population of the periphery back to the vacated cities, at the same time. Assign a mission to let the Inhumans infiltrate Cao Cao's territory to harass and invade. At the same time, our Miyun army will take the initiative to cross the border to harass and mobilize Cao's army, look for fighters to annihilate the enemy's living forces, and try to keep Cao Cao out of the first-tier cities. Let the Inhuman forces of Cao's camp infiltrate our already impregnable areas. In this way, before Cao Cao made progress, Yuan Shao and Zhang Bao will not have much action, some tentative behavior we can resolutely fight back, once Cao Cao's grain and grass are exhausted, it will inevitably retreat without a fight, and then Xuzhou will be safe, this policy can minimize our losses, but if you want to succeed, you need to rely on several aspects, first, whether the early immigration, repair, and reserve work is smooth; second, whether the combat strength and will of the defenders can withstand the onslaught of Cao's army; Third, whether our guerrilla forces were able to fully mobilize Cao's army and deal a heavy blow to it; Fourth, whether there will be a large number of Inhumans accepting our tasks, etc., if one of these links is not done well, it may lead to the failure of the entire tactic, and the risks and benefits are great. ”

Tao Qian took a deep breath, and glanced at Fang Zhiwen who was drinking tea with some envy, with such a strategist, why worry about something big not happening! Soldiers can fight, ministers can count, ministers are capable, Fang Zhiwen is not happy, it is simply intolerable!

"Wonderful, wonderful1 Tao Qian sighed and praised.

"It is indeed a wonderful strategy, and Chen Deng also said convincingly.

Mi Zhu's eyes looked at Fang Zhiwen and Guo Jia with deep meaning, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.

"The above is our general view of the battle in Xuzhou, please correct 1 After Guo Jia finished speaking, he slowly walked back to his seat and sat down, smiling and looking at the group of people opposite.

Fang Zhiwen cleared his throat and continued: "Boss, everyone understands Feng Xiao's analysis just now, this is actually a game of several core issues, one is how to make Cao Cao, who was already short of food, unable to get food, so as to retreat without a fight; One is how to make our city as able to resist Cao Cao's offensive as much as possible; Another question is how to achieve victory at the lowest possible cost. Putting all this together is the essence of this war. As for the disposition of the displaced and unemployed people mentioned by Feng Xiao just now, please consider carefully, if these people who have no sense of belonging in Xuzhou gather in the city and are used by the enemy, then the harm caused by it will be particularly serious, and it will be beneficial for both sides to hand over these people to us, and you will not have to pay anything else except the necessary food and grass equipment. ”

No matter what others think, anyway, Cao Bao and Mi Zhu are willing in their hearts, which means that they have not paid anything, and they don't even have to be responsible for taking care of and helping these displaced people, and it also reduces the contradictions between the local and immigrants in the township, which is a great thing!

For Zhao Yu, Xu Fang and others, Fang Zhiwen's population is beyond reproach, but they all understand that the population is a huge wealth, but now Xuzhou can't digest so many people for a while due to various reasons, even if they are reluctant to let Fang Zhiwen get rid of these populations, but there is no better way to solve this problem, not to mention that now the threat from the outside is imminent!

Therefore, Zhao Yu, Xu Fang and others also kept their mouths shut and did not say a word on this matter.

Tao Qian glanced at his subordinates, and basically understood everyone's thoughts, perhaps the only thing he didn't understand was Chen Deng's thoughts, Chen Deng was a staunch supporter of the Tuntian policy, and he had gained a lot from using the displaced people to develop the Guangling wasteland, perhaps he was the one who was most unwilling to give up the displaced people.

"Lord Fang, your proposal is correct, but there must be a limit to the quantity." Chen Deng thought for a while and finally put out his own conditions, it is okay to have a population, but you can't eat it all, it is better for everyone to share the account!

Fang Zhiwen grinned: "Yuanlong is right, this amount is naturally determined by our negotiation, the premise is that the transferred population must be enough for us to win this battle, there is no problem with this, right?" ”

Tao Qian smiled and shook his head, this is Fang Zhiwen's warning to the Xuzhou clan: "According to what Lord Fang said, immediately start to transfer the population, grab food, prepare materials, and repair the city defense, we decided to adopt the best policy of Fengxiao, it may not work to fight, but if we can't do these things well, I, the state pastor, will not do it1."

Fang Zhiwen looked at the confident Tao Qian and smiled with satisfaction, Tao Qian is not a soft persimmon, but the shortcomings are too obvious, if it weren't for his age, after this lesson, he would be able to work hard, maybe he could become a power.

"The boss is arrogant, hehe, in addition, our army needs to set up a port on Lianyun Island in order to transport supplies and troops, of course, this port will form a town, but we don't need a town, we just need a port, and I hope the boss will allow 1

"This matter is reasonable, but in order to coordinate the relationship between the locals, it is better for us to send an official to participate in the management."

Tao Qian is quite interested in this, the key is that Qinghekou and Qingdao are in front, and if the harbor city is well managed, it will be a money jar, so Tao Qian doesn't want to give it to Fang Zhiwen like this.

Fang Zhiwen is indispensable, the port in Lianyun Island is very close to Qingdao, Fang Zhiwen really just wants a port, and he doesn't think about establishing a base here at all, since Tao Qian is willing to pay money to build a harbor city, Fang Zhiwen also welcomes it.

"There's no problem, we just need the port."

"My lord, leave this matter to your subordinates.1 Mi Zhu took the initiative to ask for help, which made those who were one step slower sigh.

"Hehe, since that's the case, Zizhong will take the lead."

Tao Qian's words made everyone happy, the so-called leader is to eat more at the Mi family, and then everyone share, Tao Qian takes into account everyone's interests so much, of course everyone is happy, but it is really a little unparticular to divide pork in front of the guests.

Mi Zhu smiled, and saluted Fang Zhiwen and said, "So please take care of me."

"Hehe, each other1 Fang Zhiwen smiled and nodded in response, the Mi family is a huge rich man in the East China Sea, and the status of the Han family is comparable to the previous Zhen family, of course, it is a little worse now, since Mi Zhu took the initiative to show favor to himself, Fang Zhiwen has no reason to refuse.

"The big thing has been decided, the old man will replace the wine with tea, and I wish that this time we can sincerely cooperate and defeat Cao Cao1

"Please 1

That night, the two sides parted happily.

The next day, Guo Jia set up a headquarters in Tao Qian's mansion, and then began to build a shelf to run the preparation of the entire war. At the same time, this is also the second contest between Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia, two old friends, last time both sides were not very serious, it was a draw, this time it is different, it is related to Cao Cao's life and death, Xi Zhicai and Cao Cao have to go all out, but in the end, who can have the last laugh, it is unknown.
